Abstract:
A method and system for performing initial cell search is disclosed. Step 1 processing is preformed to detect a peak primary synchronization code (PSC) location (i.e. chip offset or chip location). Step 2 processing is performed to obtain the toffset and code group. Step 3 processing is performed to identify the midamble of a base station with which the WTRU performing the initial cell search may synchronize with.
Abstract:
The present invention provides for a Time Division Duplex-Radio Local Area Network (TDD-RLAN) which includes a Radio Access Network Internet Protocol (RAN IP) gateway that enables connectivity to the public Internet. The system may serve as a stand-alone system or be incorporated into a UMTS used with conventional Core Network, particularly for tracking and implementing AAA functions in the Core Network.
Abstract:
The system and method of the present invention establishes a communication link between a user equipment (UE) and a base station in a communication system having a plurality of base stations which each transmit a common primary synchronization code (PSC) in a primary synchronization channel in conjunction with a base station specific secondary synchronization code (SSC) within a system frame, which receives with the UE an input signal including the PSC and SSC from at least one of the base stations. The UE analyzes the input signal to detect any received PSCs within a selected time period which has duration corresponding to the length of a system frame and determining a relative location of a strongest PSC within the selected time period. The input signal is then processed to remove the PSC from at least the determined PSC location. A secondary synchronization code (SSC) is then detected for the determined location from the processed signal. The communication link is then established using the detected SSCs.
Abstract:
A system and method for supporting mobile Internet communication is provided which employs a plurality of Routers and a plurality of Mobile Nodes (MNs). Each Router has a unique communication address. Each MN is associated with a home Router. Each Router has an associated Mobile Node Location List identifying each MN for which the Router is the home Router and the communication address of a Router corresponding to a current location of each such MN. Each MN is movable from an old location where the MN communicates with the Internet via one Router to a current location where the MN communicates with the Internet via a different Router. Communication at the current location via the different Router is established by communicating to the MN's home Router the communication address of the different Router as the communication address corresponding to the MN's current location. Accordingly, a data communication from a corresponding node (CN) to a selected MN is communicated to the selected MN by accessing the Mobile Node Location List of the selected MN's home Router to determine the communication address corresponding to the selected MN's current location and directing the data communication to that determined communication address.
Abstract:
A wireless network provides controlled wireless communications with multi-mode wireless WTRUs. The wireless network has at least one base station having a transceiver operating in an infrastructure communication mode with multi mode WTRUs and a controller that transmits control signals via infrastructure communications with a WTRU that control peer-to-peer mode communications of that WTRU with other WTRUs. A WTRU has transceiver components configured for selective operation in an infrastructure communication mode with a network base station and in a peer-to-peer communication mode with other WTRUs. The WTRU also has a transceiver controller configured to selectively control peer-to-peer mode communications with other WTRUs based on communication signals received in infrastructure communications with a network base station. Preferably, the transceiver controller is configured to control the transceiver components to switch between infrastructure communication mode and peer-to-peer communication mode based on Quality of Service criteria.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for facilitating high level handoff decisions performed by a gateway device of a personal area network (PAN) which examines criteria regarding both the devices making up the PAN as well as the enterprise networks which are the subject of the potential handoff.
Abstract:
A system for supporting security and mobility management of wireless communications to multiple wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs) includes a first database having a listing of each of the WTRUs along with their capabilities, and a second database having a listing of the location of each of the WTRUs. The second database has at least one subgroup which corresponds to at least two WTRUs which are co-located. The WTRUs in the subgroup are treated as a single WTRU for security and mobility management.

Abstract:
Classes of cognition models which may include: 1) Radio Environment models, 2) Mobility models and 3) Application/User Context models are utilized in a wireless communications network. Radio Environment models represent the physical aspects of the radio environment, such as shadowing losses, multi-path propagation, interference and noise levels, etc. Mobility models represent users motion, in terms of geo-coordinates and/or logical identifiers, such as street names etc. as well as speed of user terminal etc. The context model represents the present state and dynamics of each of these application processes within itself and between multiple application processes. These data are employed to optimize network performance.
Abstract:
In a communicator network, system information is broadcast to WTRUs utilizing a higher system information such as an internet protocol (IP) layer which provides for bidirectional transmission, interrogation of the network by the WTRUs and negotiation of service level capabilities. Service level intelligence may be applied for wireless network selection and handover operations are facilitated using higher level system information. Automatic network selection is obtained using preprogrammed WTRUs or using a universal subscriber identity module.
